Evo guy here after owning 4 of them, Evo 8, 2 Evo 9's and a X. I daily drove my Evo 9 MR since new with 400awhp for 6 yrs before I sold it and had ZERO issues. That was on a stock turbo running E85. I did have Cosworth M3 Cams, and Brian Crower Valve Springs and retainers in the head, and all the other simple bolt on supporting mods, but really not much money to get it to the 400awhp figure. The Subie you guys did was freaking fabulous. Typically, Evo's don't need as much internal mods to make power vs the Subie, but since the Subie is a completely built race motor, to keep it fair, I would go after the same power figures with the same type of build effort as with the Subie. Run separate maps like you did on the Subie as well. Low map on the Evo 400-450awhp high map 500-600awhp then take them to the track. I'm putting my money on the Evo if built to the same standard as the Subie. 👍😎
@xxxbupropion5683
@xxxbupropion5683 2 месяца назад
This is non related to the EVO platform, but since you talked about cams and valve springs, what other parts would you need to swap out if upgraded cams and valves are done? I’m trying to know what else would be worn out if they’re upgraded.
@turbo_brian
@turbo_brian 2 месяца назад
​@@xxxbupropion5683it depends a lot on the motor as the design of the lifters changes a lot motor to motor, but in most cases with modern motors nothing should wear unless it was subjected to a lack of oil pressure. Typically when changing cams and valve springs one would also change valve stem seals (cheap while you're in there) and then the springs usually come with light weight retainers. If not you could consider this if you plan on increasing the rev limiter or the cam is significantly higher lift than stock. Keepers could also be changed out but those are usually an infinite life part unless it's a bmw/porsche/jag. Surprisingly those keepers actually tend to fail if they grip the valve too well and prevent it from rotating.
@eppyz
@eppyz 2 месяца назад
@@turbo_brian all very informative points I didn't have to change valve stems seals on my Evo 9 that I put cams in because the car only had about 3,000 mi on it when I put the cams in so that wasn't necessary and due to the valve train design in the Evo all you had to do was valve springs and retainers 👍

I brought a wrx bugeye (Impreza) from 219bhp to 269bhp then to 327bhp on stock engine (ej20). Upgraded stock turbo to STI. De catted up pipe and de catted downpipe and a straight through exhaust 2.5 inch. Bit of overspray on the map and it snapped, cracked and popped through the gears. Man oh man that Subaru gurgle!! Never used the radio or mp3. Time of my life (so far) and I bought it for 950 euro at the time (8 years ago) as it had been in crash. Easy fix but Mike! 450 bhp is more than enough mate. 400 bhp would be more than enough. I say that because corners come at you in light speed on country roads. Needs to be drivable.

While "Martin" is cool in its own right, not in love with either car tbh. Not my thing. They work there in the UK brilliantly. But I would go for an M3 or M5. The Mitsubishi and Subaru's I have tried out and they just have a spine crushing ride. Would've been ok when I was in my early 20's I suppose. Even Izzy commented on how harsh the ride is in Martin. lol.

Had the exact same car in black back in the day! Mods needed first is an Evo 9 turbo and if you add race bearings to it, it'll help even more. 2nd is an Injen cold air intake, really helps the car breathe. A walboro 255 fuel pump to add more fuel, that branch manifold is good, but ceramic coated is better! I also added a 1.2mm Cosworth metal head gasket to help compression with ARP head studs. If you add forged pistons you should be able to add boost and go to around 420bhp. I different turbo would be needed for more power, I reckon 450bhp would be the sweet spot. Lastly, polybush the car and decent coilovers will help it put the power down. Can't wait for this build, I can re-live my youth (if you call 38 youthful 😂)

Do an interior refresh or something. Power ain’t everything. I wouldn’t go above 400. But also, on another note, why buy a stock if you’re just going to do a power build? Buy one that’s already on the journey than doing that - you clearly loved that it was stock. It’ll wind up another evolution which isn’t stock and that will kinda be it

I'm currently on the 400-410hp mark and I really love it, I think it's the perfect balance for driving it on the roads. Love the yellow evo 8 too I can't wait to see how it turns out :D

2.2lt stroker + HKS 7460 turbo + Exhaust + Suspension + Brakes + Wheels = Awesome Evo. 450hp on pump fuel with a wide power band is the best setup.

Evo person for sure. Always dreamt of owning a white Evo 9 that's around 650hp with nice carbon bits and stuff.

Subie all the way. Having owned a 2013 "Stink Eye" and having my friends own a "Mean Eye" back in high school, there's something about the "do it all" presence of a Subaru. You can absolutely hoon it around on the weekends, and still take it to the office by Monday.

Team EVO all day, always wanted my own one but where I live it will never happen. Can't wait to see more of this.

Starting back in the mid-90’s, I was an Evo guy. (First new car I ever sold in ‘06 was a convertible Eclipse and I sat right next to our showroom Evo IX.) But now, at 42 and having owned a couple Subies, I’m Team WRX.

1990 DSM here. That 4g63 is mounted backwards. 200,000 and around 450hp. I've owned at least one constantly since 1994. You guys should look for a Talon or Eclipse 6 bolt. Stock bottom end and drive train and I launch all the time on 12psi!

You definitely have a knack for unearthing yellow Evo's. Extra bonus points for the colour coordination with the shoes and the car lift support arms as well 😉 Would have loved to have heard Neil's opinion, looked like it was tea time and he was running upstairs in the background 😂

Always been subaru over evo and I'm currently trying to find a blobeye wrx to fulfill my inner child's dreams but I certainly do like evos I have nothing against them at all I actually think in most ways they're probably better, but now I think you have to appreciate both of them and realise we may never get cars like that ever again, they're both iconic legends of the car world

I’ve driven every iteration of the scoobies and plenty of Evos back when I used to have a business and did work for the local Subaru dealer, scoobies were always a blunt instrument when compared to an Evo which just felt so sharp and immediate in comparison.

This build has truly made my day. Thank you for listening to your fans! Can’t we see a Evo v Miata series? Get them both to 450bhp and crown the ultimate “fun” car.

Always been team Subaru, growing up watching our man Colin McRae, along with Richard Burns, Petter Solberg et al, just fell in love with Subarus (helped that our family car was a Subaru L series and our mechanic was a Subaru mechanic that raced a 99 2 door WRX hillclimb car). In saying all this I did own a 2007 lancer wagon with a 4G69 2.4L MIVEC N/A engine and that thing was a rocket!!! Go Subaru!!! 😄

Evo and 550 is perfect. My Evo 9 at 500whp was a lot of fun. You have to really like the smell of coolant to own a Subaru.
